Hey there Matt,
>
> I am taking clonazepam 2mg daily, but I don't think that's contributing. I really don't feel sedated by clonazepam. Actually, I don't really feel *anything* from clonazepam. I just don't get panic attacks (which is why I still take it - panic disorder).~~I recall your being so very kind and helpful to me in my Klonopin beginnings. I'm glad its still working for you.

> I'm also looking into delayed sleep phase syndrome. My natural circadian rhythm seems to be to sleep at 4am and wake around 11 or 12. If only the rest of the world revolved around me, haha. Only problem is that there isn't very good treatment for this, other than to adjust your schedule...difficult to get the military to do that.~~~ Do think about having a sleep study - they are all the rage now (for good reason) and are the start of lookey sees into all manner of sleep disorders. Having a study done may be really helpful.
I worked "nights" for a long while and do indeed understand the "good sleep" happening when everyone else is awake. Luckily, my routine turned around of it's on accord (took a bit of time) when I no longer worked that schedule.
KaraS's light box use is an idea the some find effective - looking into that is an option.
Hope you work it out. Good to have you here again.
